‘Normal People’ solidifies Bacci Pouch’s place as one of Brighton’s most promising indie-rock outfits. The track exudes a raw, scuzzy charm reminiscent of The Libertines while capturing the punchy energy of Buzzcocks. Built around a pulsating bassline, buoyant guitar riffs, and boxy drums, the song balances punk edge with a melodic indie-pop sensibility, delivering an infectious blend of grit and nostalgia.
The production, helmed by Erik Miles at Forum Recording Studios and mastered by Robin Schmidt, gives ‘Normal People’ a polished yet vintage tone, enhancing its emotive pull. James Neighbour’s compelling vocals convey a relatable tale of disconnection and solidarity, as the lyrics explore the poignant dynamic of two people seeking solace in each other amid the alienation of modern life.
Speaking about the gripping narrative behind the track, the band share: “‘Normal People’ describes the encounter of two people struggling with everyday life, feeling disconnected from society and not ‘normal.’ Through finding common ground, they realise that they need each other to live out a fantasy of normalcy. It’s a statement on feeling alien within the patterns of everyday life, but at its core, it’s about finding that one special person who makes you feel understood.”
Already a standout at live shows, ‘Normal People’ epitomizes Bacci Pouch’s knack for crafting anthems that resonate with authenticity and vigor. Their growing momentum suggests this is just the beginning for a band destined to leave a lasting imprint on the UK indie scene.
